The stride is starting to look almost as good as the payday will. EricFrancis on Erik Karlsson's return to form for SJSharks at the perfect time:
Coach Peter DeBoer has generally used Karlsson upwards of 22 minutes a night, but wasn’t scared to have him out there for more than 33 minutes in each of the last two overtime games against Vegas.
"You can’t rush those type of things. His first game was the last game of the regular season so we knew there’d be some adjustment period, some conditioning, some timing. We’re through that and out the other side. And he looks good." "It’s been a privilege to play with him," said Karlsson of Burns, who had led all defencemen with 83 points while Karlsson had 45 points in 53 games.
